Shit, it's got to suck owning a Chrysler.
Sure glad I don't know anyone who owns a Chrysler...

Now where will we get slow, ultra-heavy front wheel drive cars from?

Chrysler isn't going away right now, only filing Chapter 11 to seek shelter from creditors. Now they can try to reorganize and get things straightened out. they are partnering up with Fiat. Hopefully Fiat can help to right the ship.
Chrysler is still honoring warranties. Not too much will change as far as that is concerned.

Chrysler will be back with diesels and tiny cars in no time. Fiat also makes some hot hatchbacks that are very popular in Europe. This maybe a good thing.

They file for Chapter 11 and the Gov still gives them money to help recover?

I'm lost.

I wonder how happy ego boy is now that he owns a car company. Yes I know its the Gov but his ego is the Gov.

My friend will be happy if the Fiat she wants makes it over here. But not if it is watered down crap.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.
